Holiday cottages La Portella

The town was an access point during the reconquest of Lleida, which was in the hands of the Muslims. It was the Count of Urgell Ermengol VII who recovered La Portella and distributed the land among the Hospitallers , who took care of repopulating the territory.

La Portella belonged to the region of La Noguera until 1989 and its origin is linked to this region and to Albesa, a neighboring municipality located on the other side of the river. During the reconquest, which began earlier in Noguera than in Segrià, the Noguera Ribagorçana river was crossed from Albesa Castle and the lands of La Portella were occupied as a prelude to the reconquest of the city of Lleida .

It is very interesting to walk around the center of the town , as it has a different network of streets than the other towns in the region. The entire old town is grouped around the Church of Sant Pere , from the 16th century. Another interesting building is the Casal dels Teixidor or Casa Gran, built in the 19th century in neoclassical style.

In this municipality, several archaeological sites have been documented. One of them is the Bronze Age Necropolis A of Corregó , which consists of three tombs excavated in the rock. Near the Necropolis, there is the site of Torre de Corregó , whose settlement extends from the Bronze Age to the Iberian period and where hand-made pottery, turned pottery and fragments of flint have been found and of cornubiata. On the other hand, Corregó Necropolis B (medieval) , located on the edge of the road that goes from La Portella to Corbins, on the right bank of the Noguera Ribagorçana, two tombs have been found there.

Our recommendation is to walk along the paths that follow the course of the Noguera Ribagorçana river and discover fantastic places such as the Sot del Monarca , a cool albereda on the banks of the river.

And, of course, you can't leave La Portella without first tasting " la cassola ", its traditional dish.
